Tell me about your username. Where did it come from? Was it just for this site?
'Ariadne, in Greek mythology, daughter of Pasiphae and the Cretan king Minos. She fell in love with the Athenian hero Theseus and, with a thread or glittering jewels, helped him escape the Labyrinth after he slew the Minotaur, a beast half bull and half man that Minos kept in the Labyrinth. Here the legends diverge: she was abandoned by Theseus and hanged herself; or, Theseus carried her to Naxos and left her there to die, and she was rescued by and married the god Dionysus.'
So, my husband first broke my heart when we first dated. We were 23, and it was 2007. A song by The Crüxshadows came out and a friend sent it to me.
OOF.
A few years later and a little older we decided to give it another try.
Now it is 2023, 10 years and married since.
He wants a divorce.
This song has always been a memory and I feel like if it was relatable 15 years ago it *really* is now.
So here I wait.
I could talk about my story forever, but if you're interested I am linking the lyrics and the song for anyone who would like.
How about you? Give me everything you would like to.

The Crüxshadows – Ariadne
He cast you to this isolation / Without the spark that made life real / Nothing lost below the mourning / Nothing moves and nothing feels / Your distant eyes filled up with longing
